Wow this is one of the most moving political advertisement’s I have seen in a very long time. This is a political ad for the 2012 presidential race – in this case – by Tim Pawlenty who used to be the governor of Minnesota. It goes with his book, Courage to Stand. Even though he will not will the Republican nomination he sure makes a good video that hits every American Ideal and value.
It hits us with every American value. I plan to use this in the classroom when I talk about American values. I may have them try to guess what American values they “see” in this presidential advertisement.
Great to see the video embedded successfully in your blog post. Do you think you could use this video with your class? Is so, how? Do you think that you could use other embedded videos with students? If so, why? What do videos have that text might not?
Thanks for sharing this video on your elections in 2012. When does all the propaganda start? I live in Australia and there is a lot on our news as the elections do get nearer for the USA.
Just a couple of tips. Can you go back into this post, edit it and add #ksyb as a tag, embedding media etc so that when people do a search for #ksyb, all posts that were written as part of this challenge can be found easily. While you are there, add a category eg Kick Start Your Blog, or blogging challenge or blogging so that again search engines can find you or at some later stage you can just click on that category and find all the posts that you have written on blogging or for the challenge. If you were just time challenged and didnt get time to do it, or just forgot ignore my tips.
